Programming the Nation?
6.2
Programming the Nation? takes an encompassing look at the history of subliminal messaging in America. According to many authorities, since the late 1950s subliminal content has been tested and delivered through all forms of mass-media including Hollywood filmmakers Alfred Hitchcock and William Friedkin. Even our modern military has been accused of these practices in the "war on terror" against soldiers and civilians both abroad and at home. With eye-opening footage, revealing interviews, humorous anecdotes, and an array of visual effects, the film categorically explores the alleged usage of subliminals in advertising, music, film, television, anti-theft devices, political propaganda, military psychological operations, and advanced weapons development. Director Jeff Warrick makes it his personal mission to determine if these manipulative tactics have succeeded in "programming the nation?" Or, if subliminal messaging belongs in the category of what many consider urban legend.

Tous les gouvernements mentent
7.7
Isador Feinstein Stone, alias "I. F." ou "Izzy" Stone (1907-1989) est l’une des figures les plus glorieuses du journalisme américain. Farouchement indépendant et engagé à gauche, il a battu en brèche durant des décennies la propagande politique, les abus du Maccartisme, la ségrégation raciale, la guerre du Vietnam et la collusion avec l’industrie. Au nom de sa devise, "Tous les gouvernements mentent", il a défendu âprement la liberté et la démocratie promises par la Constitution dans un bulletin hebdomadaire austère et dépourvu de toute publicité. Placé sous son autorité tutélaire, ce documentaire part à la rencontre de ses héritiers dans l’Amérique d’aujourd’hui – engagée au moment du tournage dans une campagne qui n’avait pas encore été couronnée par la victoire de Trump, mais avait déjà vu éliminer le candidat à l’investiture démocrate Bernie Sanders.

The Colbert Report

Dec 18, 2014
The Colbert Report is an American satirical late night television program that airs Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. It stars political humorist Stephen Colbert, a former correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The Colbert Report is a spin-off from and counterpart to The Daily Show that comments on politics and the media in a similar way. It satirizes conservative personality-driven political pundit programs, particularly Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. The show focuses on a fictional anchorman character named Stephen Colbert, played by his real-life namesake. The character, described by Colbert as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot", is a caricature of televised political pundits. The Colbert Report has been nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards each in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, two Television Critics Association Awards Awards, and two Satellite Awards. In 2013, it won two Emmys. It has been presented as non-satirical journalism in several instances, including by the Tom DeLay Legal Defense Trust and by Robert Wexler following his interview on the program. The Report received considerable media coverage following its debut on October 17, 2005, for Colbert's coining of the term "truthiness", which dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster named its 2006 Word of the Year.
